PhyWorldBench v3 (revised 26 May 2026) has 1,050 prompts over 10 physics categories (kinematics, interaction dynamics, energy, fluids and particles, lighting and shadows, deformation and others, plus human/animal motion and an Anti-Physics level) and scores videos with three-annotator Yes/No majority votes on semantic adherence (SA), physical commonsense (PC) and both. Twelve text-to-video models were scored; the best, Pika 2.0, reaches 0.262 on 'Both' and anti-physics prompts are far lower (0.000 to 0.042 for most). All twelve overall rows in Table 3 are identical between v1 (Jul 2025) and v3 by my own comparison, while v3 adds precision/recall tables and a CAP neutrality check. The authors' Context-Aware Prompt (CAP) judge reaches ROC-AUC 75.1 for physical commonsense versus 61.6 for plain GPT-o1.

Curator qualifications: Curator located the excerpted evidence in the work copies (automated prefix match) and spot-checked claim-critical figures by search. The five-vs-seven model-count inconsistency is kept.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
